DAY 2

Drew and Lola headed for the waterfall fast. "Ok on the count of three toss the bear to the side." Drew said. They did and the cub landed on the side of the river. Lola looked at Drew.

"Now what?" She asked. Drew gave a faint smile.

"YA um didn't get that far." She said. Lola looked at her and glared.

"I really do hate you." She said as they were launched into mid air than down a water fall. Lola landed first then Drew. After about 3 minutes Derw came to the surface. She swam to the edge of the river. Drew pulled herself out of the water and crawled onto land. She rolled over onto her back and coughed up water. When all the water was gone she started gasping for breath. She reached up at and touched her forehead.

"Ow." She said flinching. She brought her hand down to see blood. She had a gash on her forehead. It wasn't life threatening, for once, but it bled like hell. She stood up and walked to the side of the river and fell to her hands and knees and looked down into her reflection. Blood ran down her cut and into her eye. Her eye automatically shut. She cupped some water into her hand and splashed it into her face. After wiping her face with her selves, She looked beside her and saw Lola laying half way in the water. Drew tried her hardest to get her out. She finally did. Drew looked at her. "Wow you look like sh." Drew fell over and passed out.

The smell of food woke Drew. She slowly opened her eyes to see a fire and some fish cooking. Her eyes wandered towards a sleeping Lola beside her. They had blankets on them. Drew sat up slowly. Her clothes were still damp but drying quickly. She touched her throbbing forehead. It had a band-aid. She saw the sun. It was well over their heads. "Wow it's already noon." She mumbled. "Oh crap." Drew snapped realizing that a day and a half already went by. She turned over to Lola and started to shake her. "Lola get up! We have to get going come on get up." Drew said. Lola slowly opened her eyes and sat up. She rubbed her eye with a fist.

"Where are we?" She asked. Drew shrugged.

"I don't know but we have to get going." She said. Lola nodded and tried to stand up but fell back down from the pain in her right ankle.

"Ow!" She yelled. Drew looked at her and raised an eyebrow. Lola had her eyes shut and was gripping her bandaged up ankle.

"Are you ok?" Drew asked picking up her sword and putting it around her back then picking up Lola's sword and tossing it to her. She grabbed it and put it beside her.

"Does it look like im freaking ok?" She yelled. Drew rolled her eyes.

"Jeez some body woke up on the wrong side of the ground." She said then started to look for something.

"Ha ha very funny. What's wrong?" She asked. Drew looked close to tears.

"I- I can't find my necklace or Ash's." She said crawling around trying to find it.

"So just buy a new one." Lola said rubbing her sprained ankle.

"No that was ASH"S necklace his necklace with the pictures and the other one is the one Frig gave me!" Drew said frantically.

"You probably lost it during the falls now can we leave." Drew looked at her and nodded.

"Guess your right but can we eat first." Drew asked. Lola almost fell over.

"Whatever." She said watching Drew eye the fish. When they were done the got ready to go. "Can't believe we lost all our crap." Lola said. Drew nodded and they headed of into the woods. Two hunters walked into their campsite.

"Hey were did those two kids go." One said.

"I don't know but they took the fish with them." Said the other.

Drew walked fast. She was so mad that she lost the necklaces. She noticed Lola dragging behind. "He Lola what are you doing? Hurry up we have a lot of ground to cover." Drew said. Lola sat down.

"I can't Drew my ankle kills." She said. Lola looked up to see Drew kneeling down motioning her to get on her back. "Drew you don't have to." Lola said.

"Believe me I don't want to just get on your slowing me down." She said. Lola scowled at her but agreed. Drew stood up with Lola on her back and continued walking.

Mathew and Kyle stopped by a nearby river for water and rest. Mathew sat down after a cool drink and looked at his son. Kyle took off his backpack and sword. Then he took off his shirt and jumped in the water. Mathew blocked the incoming water. Kyle came back up and shook his head. "Ah Kyle, watch it." mathew said.

"Sorry dad." He said the something twinkled bellow the service and it caught his eye. "Huh?" He said diving in after it. He reached for it but it was stuck. He moved the rock holding it in place and brought it up to the service. When he serviced he untangled witch appeared to be Drew and Ash's necklaces. He swam to the side and ran out of the water to mathew. "Dad, Dad! Look." He said giving it to Mathew. He took it and examined the two.

"Is this?" He asked. Kyle nodded.

"Ya I think it's the necklaces Drew took with her." Kyle said. Mathew opened the locket and nodded.

"Ya it is." He said showing the picture to Kyle who nodded.

"We better go." Kyle said putting his sword around his back. Mathew did the same and they left.

By now it was starting to get late. Drew was slowing down.

"Drew?" Lola said. Drew stopped and without warning collapsed. Lola limped off and stared at her.

"Need to rest." Drew said gasping for air. Lola looked at Drew. She had been carrying her for over five hours.

"Well this sucks." Lola said. Four minutes later it started to poor. Drew rolled over and tried to drink the rain water. Lola laughed for real the first time in a long time at the sight. "Um Drew why don't we try to find shelter?" Drew nodded and stood up. They saw a cave and Drew put Lola's arm around her neck and helped her towards it. She sat Lola down. She looked over to see a weed of some kind growing on the walls. she pulled it down and made a pile. She used her fire sword to start a fire and both girls sat in front of it.

"Good thing we ate that fish." Drew said. Lola nodded even though they both knew they were hungry. The sat in silence for a while letting their clothes dry.

"So." Lola said. Drew looked at her.

"What?" She asked.

"Is it true what my uncle said? Did you really lose your parents eight years ago?" Lola asked. Drew looked down sadly. Lola regretted it.

"I'm sorry." She said.

"N-no it's ok. Ya I did. It was in the Himalayas. During a big blizzard." Drew said. Lola looked at her amazed.

"So you've been to North America?" She asked. Drew nodded.

"Ya, I had been around the world and back by the age of four." Drew said proud. Lola's mouth dropped.

"Wow you're lucky I've never been outside the aquatic territory, well until now but that doesn't count." She said. Drew nodded and they both fell into silence. After a while Drew broke the silence.

"So what's your brother like?" She asked.

"He's the most adventuress little boy you will ever meet and that's all you need to know." Lola said. They both laughed. "Drew?" Lola said.

"Hm?" Drew asked while laying on her belly next to the fire drawing with a stone and her sword ling next to her. Lola sat up watching cradling her legs.

"Do you think we will be able to rescue them?" Lola asked. Drew put the rock down and folded her arms underneath her.

"IF Ash is kidnaped along with your brother," She paused. "Yes, yes I do." She said. Lola smiled. There was another long pause between the two.

"I'm sorry." They said at the same time. Both looked at each other.

"For what?" Drew asked.

"You know for getting us in this mess." Lola said. Drew smiled.

"Me to." Drew said. Lola looked at her and nodded.

"Your ok Drew." She said.

"Ya you to." Drew said taking off her muddy sneakers and putting them next to the fire to dry. Lola did the same. Drew stretched out and cuddled up next to the fire and dozed off. Lola laid down on her side with one hand supporting her head. She looked at Drew and thought to herself.

Your lucky, I hope someday I could live like you Drew. Lola rested her head on her arm and slowly fell asleep dreaming of the day she rescued her brother.
